86: An opportunity quest obtained through a mummified corpse! No accident!

[Buzz!]

Your Dried Corpse encountered a subordinate of the Mountain God in the Giant Tree Forest and received a bounty mission!

[Mission Requirement: Investigate the whereabouts of the Mist Phoenix Clan in the Giant Tree Forest and locate the Cold Spring.]

[Reward: Monster Skill Ice Stream Bullet!]

[Note: Upon completion of this mission, you will receive an additional reward of Mist Points!]

"Accept!"

Su Lie's eyes flickered, and he immediately agreed.

If there were benefits to be had, he naturally had to accept.

What's more, this was a mission from the Mountain God.

He could also use this opportunity to probe the Mountain God's background.

However, the way this mission was triggered surprised him slightly.

Perhaps in the future, he could obtain more Opportunity Missions through his Dried Corpse!

Thinking of this, he turned and went to the Shelter: "The divine breath venom can petrify life, the fantasy mushroom can make life fall into the illusion of the Spirit dimension, the corrosive red date can release corrosive poison Mist... the blood burst red date can trigger a qi and blood explosion... plus the Cold Spring water that can freeze a Level 50 Phoenix Bird..."

"Oh right! And add one Strange Fragrant Chestnut!"

"If all these things are mixed together for refining!"

"What will I get?"

As he spoke, he placed the materials he had just gathered together and took out one level 0 monster crystal.

"Random Treasure Refining!"

Su Lie activated the Skill.

Buzz!

The phantom image of the Eight Treasures Purple Gold Furnace appeared, and the materials were absorbed into the furnace.

A few seconds later, a fruit emitting a strange fragrance appeared in Su Lie's hand.

This fruit resembled jelly, and the fragrance emanating from it was extremely tempting.

It made Su Lie involuntarily swallow, wishing he could eat it immediately.

Su Lie carefully examined the fruit.

[Wonder-Scent Burst-Thud Fruit: Red God-level Quality; Decoy-type Deadly Poison fruit; After consumption, the consumer will fall into a Spirit illusion, their nervous system will be frozen, and they will lose all perception of their body and the outside world.

They will be petrified within 3 seconds.

The consumer's internal organs and tissues will be corroded into a corrosive solution, triggering a qi and blood explosion.

This fruit can completely destroy all functions of the consumer's physical body within 5 seconds.]

"Completely destroying the opponent's physical body? Is this a mixed exotic poison that combines Spirit, freezing, corrosion, and blood explosion?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up upon seeing this.

This truly was a genuine mixed poison!

He immediately used his Enhancement Talent.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, the Wonder-Scent Burst-Thud Fruit was successfully Strengthened.

After continuous Strengthening, the fruit's effect was enhanced; the original descriptions of 3-second petrification and destruction of the consumer's body within 5 seconds had disappeared.

It was changed to instantaneous petrification and destruction of the consumer's physical body.

Furthermore, an additional trait, Disguise, was added.

It could Disguise itself as any golden legend quality beneficial fruit, and no life form could see its true information before consumption.

Su Lie curved his lips, a shrewd light flashing in his eyes: "With this fruit, I wonder if the Mountain God's subordinate will fall for it!"

Considering this, he used Disguise to turn the fruit into a god-tier Blood-Nourishing Red Dates.

There was no other way.

The only god-tier fruit he had ever seen was the Blood-Nourishing Red Dates.

The others, the Soul Insect Pill and the Chestnut Bun, were refined products.

The Golden Treasure Blood came from the Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad; taking it out would definitely expose him.

Only the Blood-Nourishing Red Dates would not arouse suspicion.

Just then.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on successfully refining a new type of fruit!]

[Reward: 100 Mist Points!]

... [Because you are the first Survivor to refine a new type of fruit!]

[You are specially granted a first-time reward: 1,000 Mist Points; 100 free attribute points!]

Su Lie smiled upon seeing this: "I didn't expect to receive rewards this way!"

This reward increased his Mist Points to 3,034,501.

It also increased his free attribute points to 3,858.

Afterwards, Su Lie summoned one of the remaining five Dried Corpses, possessed the Dried Corpse using his Spirit, and placed the Disguised Wonder-Scent Burst-Thud Fruit on the Dried Corpse.

Only then did he send the Dried Corpse toward the Giant Tree Forest.

He discovered that after possessing it, he could control the Dried Corpse's movements while still doing whatever he wanted in the Shelter.

The Dried Corpse was like a controlled robot; as long as he gave a command, it could act on its own.

He could also remotely take control of the body.

This fact made Su Lie feel unprecedented excitement.

After the Dried Corpse left, Su Lie finally put the 100 kilograms of rice he had just received as a reward together with the flour he had been rewarded earlier.

He then looked at the gold, silver, and jewels inside the ruyi pouch.

After a quick calculation using his Spirit, he found that this time he had acquired a total of 13.21 million gold bricks of varying sizes and 2,091 silver bricks.

He had 53.1 million pieces of various jewels, including pearls, agate, jade, diamonds, emeralds, and all sorts of other gems.

"These things can decorate my Shelter!"

Su Lie had a plan.

He did not take out the treasures.

Instead, he took out the last reward obtained from this action: the Mist Pistol.

This pistol was not a prize rewarded by the mist rule.

It was an item secretly slipped into the pouch by the Mist Phoenix Clan under the guise of the mist rule, through a hidden agreement in their alliance transaction.

This was bait used by the Mist Phoenix Clan to stir his emotions and make him believe that this alliance and transaction would be protected by the mist rule.

Su Lie looked at the Mist Pistol manufacturing blueprint.

[Mist Pistol Manufacturing: Red God-level Quality; Can manufacture a pistol capable of firing long-range single-target attack Skills accurately and over extreme distances without consuming resources.

This pistol can enhance long-range Skills.]

[Attachments: Silencer, Spirit Scope.

Requirement: User must possess a long-range single-target attack Skill.

Materials: 50 Red God-level Quality mist crystal iron pieces, 5 iron nails, 1 million monster crystals.]

"Good heavens! A pistol that fires Skills without consumption? Does that mean it doesn't fire bullets?"

Su Lie's gaze narrowed slightly upon seeing this.

The design of this pistol was identical to a Desert Eagle.

The blueprint showed that its scope was located on the rail at the top of the gun.

This scope was the same as a rifle's holographic sight.

"Where can I obtain this mist crystal iron?"

Su Lie frowned.

He entered the Chat Channel.

He saw: [Current Survivor Count: 15.7 billion]

"Hiss! How much time has passed for so many Survivors to have died already?"

Su Lie took a sharp breath.

Last night when he checked, there were still 19 billion.

In just over ten hours, more than 3 billion Survivors had died!

He quickly entered the chat page.

He saw:

"Holy crap! Brothers! I was truly an idiot! Yesterday afternoon I got an opportunity and found I could temporarily Disguise myself as a Mist Monster to explore the monster lair next to me!"

"Who knew, I was almost eaten by the monsters! Luckily, I had previously acquired a teleportation jade talisman, otherwise, you wouldn't see me today!"

"Wuwuwu! So embarrassing! Even these damn items can deceive people! This is so messed up!"

Upon seeing this message, Su Lie was stunned: "No way! Are there other Survivors being lured by the surrounding Mist Monsters?"

He realized that what happened early this morning was not a coincidence.

"Haha! Stupid, right? Didn't the mist rule say that no life form can be trusted? I really didn't think you were that kind of person? Are you that desperate?"

"If I told you that Mist Monsters can Disguise themselves as the mist rule to send us rewards, would you believe it?

I was almost the Man-Eating Flower's groom; if I hadn't had a little artistic flair and discovered the monsters' weaknesses, I would have died too!"

"Damn it! Looks like I'm not the only one!

I was tricked by a bunch of little people who turned into big hairy chestnuts, and I was almost eaten!

Thinking of the sight of those densely packed little people eating me makes me shudder... I don't have a single piece of intact skin left on my body now... Damn it, I'm disfigured!"

"Wuu! Wuu! Wuu! Damn them! These bastards ate my brother! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"Your *thing* was eaten? I kinda feel sorry for you! Haha! Schadenfreude.JPG!"

"What's going on? The monsters are so ugly? And they successfully lured people? Brothers! How desperate are you guys?"

"Holy crap! Why haven't I experienced something like this?"

"Damn it! Don't be sarcastic, brother! If you encountered that kind of thing, you'd be confused too!

I managed to escape using an item, but if you don't have a way to save yourself, you will die miserably!"
